## Abstract A family of Group 4 post‐metallocene catalysts, supported by fluorine‐functionalized tridentate ligands with the fluorine substituent in the locality of the metal center, is described. For the first time, the contentious CH⋅⋅⋅FC interaction has been characterized by a neutron diffract
